Following a High Court in Pretoria ruling to dismiss an urgent application by the Educators’ Union of South Africa , who have spearheaded teacher and learner health concerns amid the coronavirus, the union said it would not back down on its fight to protect the lives of teachers and learners. 2. The application was made after schools had opened, Eusa’s national spokesperson Kabelo Mahlobogwane says the union saw no reason to include the Cogta minister and MECs as the union was not challenging lockdown regulations or the Disaster Management Act.“We were never opposed to the continuation of education, we call for a form of education which does not endanger the lives of teachers and learners.
